yes, it was a copy-paste. That is what my system gave me - on my desktop. Haven't tried it on my laptop. I am wondering where that comes from. I haven't run a zypper dup on my desktop in a long time - maybe I will try that now. it appears you somehow ran zypper as some elevated user (s/b root) and the repos (/etc/zypp/repos.d/*) were not available to that user.
to confirm your repos zypper lr (list repos)
I don't know now how yast works with packages as I have not used it since zypper became available. I prefer commandline and zypper is easy and dependable and understandable. but part of that comes with use.
personally I disable zypper auto update repos and use the three part commandline stanza I presented previously.
Yes, kind of weird... here I have copied and pasted a full zypper ref, zypper lr, and then a command for an operation, you can see what is at the bottom... but after this I am doing a zypper dup, so we will see if that clears it up # zypper ref Repository 'downloads' is up to date.
